Get Me Right

Alright, I updated my running playlist, for my long run this Saturday. I'm not sure how many miles I want to run this weekend. I may run ten--that is-- if I'm brave. It's crazy that my running playlist is right under two hours. And to think this whole running adventure began with one 5K race. Now I'm training for a half marathon.

Okay, back to the music. I downloaded new stuff. The new Dashboard Confessional album dropped last week, so I've been listening to it at least twice a day. It's songwriting at its best. I have several albums of DC and it seems like in the fall and winter I seem to play it more often. I started listening to DC, my sophomore year of high school, ever since I can't get enough. I'm glad they/(he) is still making music.

Here is my favorite song on the new album. It's about the honest struggle of sin.

Get Me Right - Dashboard Confessional
So, what do you think? Honestly.

Today, I'm thankful for my family. They love and support me and I appreciate them will all my heart. Sometimes, they are the only ones that are willing to put up with me. Thanks, you are the best!

You May Have Seen This...

Maybe you've seen this post on Facebook.
Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it as your status. "Today I am thankful for..." The longer you do it, the harder it gets! Now if you think you can do it then repost this message as your status to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today!

I'm going to do this, but modify it for my blog. So, here it goes.

Today, I'm thankful for Trey. He's a wonderful husband. He is also the best father to Cheyenne. He helps me on the days I seem to need it the most.

Sweet Sixteen

My little sister is growing up.

Check out that massive cake! Trey made sure I asked for leftovers. He asked to take a whole tier, but didn't get away with it.

My mom did a wonderful job of planning the party. You know planning a big event can be kind of crazy, but everything just came together.

Check out the up-do. Very nice.

Aunt Mary Jane and Chey

These are a few of my Aunts and Uncles who made the long journey from Port Lavaca to Abilene.

My Grandma Mary finally met Cheyenne!

Mike and John are good friends of the family

Trey didn't pick on Tasha too much...

PJ and party time. This was during the dance.

Angelica was so surprised when Tasha was handed one of her gifts.

This is one of the gifts she got. I wouldn't mind having my name on one. D-O-M-I-N-I-Q-U-E and then maybe I'll throw in A-N-D-E-R-S-O-N
Can you say BLING?

Erica and Tasha

I don't know what it is, but ever since Brandon's Wedding Trey has become a little dancing machine. He wanted to dance just about every song the DJ played. I'm not use to this new Trey, but I like it! We took this picture before the dance started.

Okay, there are a lot more photos posted on flickr.

Brisket Here. Brisket There. Brisket Everywhere.

Lately, Cheyenne and I have been eating a lot of brisket. This past weekend, we ate some at Tasha's party and a few weekends ago, we had it at Brandon and Maghen's Wedding Reception. Did I mention I took leftovers from both events? I freezed several bags, so I can grab it whenever I don't feel like cooking.

This was at Tasha's party. Cheyenne, she eats like a lady.


Well, she doesn't drink like a lady. She got carried away with her sippy cup and spilled water all over her pretty dress, so she had to change into her PJ's early.

Celebration with Family & Friends

We had a great time this weekend. We celebrated Natasha's party with family and friends. I posted a few pictures, but I will post more tomorrow. It's been a busy day for me. I drove from Abilene to Ft. Worth early this morning and spent the majority of the day cleaning and getting ready for the week. Cheyenne was fussy after the car ride, but by the end of the afternoon she was so lovable. She was cuddling and giggling...very sweet.

Natasha and Cheyenne hanging out before the party. Natasha likes to wear these silly glasses. There not even prescription.

Trey had fun with them too.

This is such a sweet picture. I love the way he's looking at her.

Abilene Christian University Run

Distance: 9.02
Total Time: 1:27:18
Average Pace Per Mile: 9:41
Temp: 59 degrees

This morning I went for a nice long run. And I really appreciate the time change because it means I can start my runs earlier and not have to worry about running in the dark.

Sweet Sixteen

This weekend we will be celebrating Natasha's sixteenth birthday. She is having a dance and everything! We have family coming in from out of town and this weekend my grandmother will meet Cheyenne, for the first time.

The last few days, I've been putting together a video photo album for Natasha's party. Here are a few photos that made the cut.

Turkey Hand

Cheyenne made me this while she was at daycare. I think it's a turkey hand. Whatever it is, I love it.

I'm sure this is the first of many drawings, I will collect over the next few years.


Well, Trey and I actually went to church this evening. I kept telling people, "I didn't know we had church on Wednesday's." It's hard to make it there every Wednesday. We dropped Cheyenne off at the nursery and we went to big church.

At the end of the day, I figured I've only spent about an hour with Cheyenne. I really miss her right now. Well, at least I have this cute picture to look at.
